New Delhi, November 14

The Election Commission on Tuesday sent a show-cause notice to Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi for her comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an election rally in Madhya Pradesh. The poll panel also put Delhi CM and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal on notice for posting objectionable comments and a video on the PM on his party’s social media handle.

Both notices have been sent on the basis of complaints filed by the BJP, and the two leaders have been asked to reply by November 16. Priyanka had, at a rally in Sanwer, allegedly asked why the PM had palmed off PSU BHEL to his industrial friends.

Kejriwal posted a video where Modi’s image has been superimposed along with that of industrialist Gautam Adani, alluding that the PM allegedly works for the businessman rather than for the nation.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
